So..... There is definitely something seriously wrong with me. I'm sad to say that I will no longer be in the EFR7163 club. I went ahead and picked up the following: -CP-E Exhaust Manifold with Precision Flange -Precision 5558 Gen 2 (.83 a/r) -Kozmic Downpipe for Precision -Tial 44mm MV-R -DTP...

So I added the catch can following Damond route 2, I measured my crankcase before and after. Before: Sat at around 4" water column at hot idle, varied a bit during heavy throttle, under full boost hit 6". After: Sat at 1" water columnt at hot idle, under full boost hit 2". I guess I have more...

Yeah, I am pretty worried about the oil restrictor. Also yes, self tuned.

Thanks! I am curious, how is your PCV system routed now? Do you have a can on the VC? Do you run multiple catch cans off of your Perm PCV plate? The .035" restrictor solved the huge clouds of smoke, but I can still smell some burning oil, especially whenever I rev match when coming to a stop...

I'm not using the full race stuff, just a 4an PTFE line to an inline filter to the turbo. The oil drain is from Eric on Facebook. It's pretty much the most vertical the drain can be with how things are oriented.

The oil burning issue ended up being too much oil pressure at the turbo. Used a .035" restrictor and the smoke on decel immediately went away. Honestly the last thing I thought it would be but i'm just so stoked that was the problem lmao. Ran into another issue that I need to figure out before...

Thank you all for the advice... For now I've decided to enjoy the car. I'll still look into it more, but fuck it I wanna make some power lol. Finished putting together my DIY port injection setup over the weekend. Running an Aeromotive Stealth 325 in tank, a Fuel Lab regulator, and Bosch 630cc...

Long time no update. I've been super busy and travelling to Germany for work. The engine has been burning oil since day one, I thought I was imagining things because it was so intermittent :( Under high engine vacuum (during decel) I get a pretty sizable amount of smoke out of the tailpipe. It...

Yup, even after driving for an hour.

Yeah, I only have a shit ton of knock at part throttle (like 6-8 degrees consistently). The WOT KR doesn't seem terrible though.

It's pretty depressing to hear, and I don't doubt you... but I don't feel like I have a choice but to continue with the assumption of the engine being okay. I attached a few E50 logs if you don't mind taking a look. There's no such thing as KR from too little timing is there lol?

Very good info, thanks man! I have pretty much zero tuning experience, should have probably done a little more research on WGDCs. I am already almost touching ~96% IDC at redline on E50, but it's also running a little rich from false knock up there. Need to mess with the knock offsets at around...

I got the downpipe situation fixed on Saturday, no effect on the KR. Also got started tuning, it's so much damn fun! Plus no waiting on revisions lol. Pretty much have the fuel curve dialed in for the areas I am currently touching, should be perfect with the next revision. Got a 93 basemap...

I checked the CAS and it was off by a little more than a quarter tooth, which is only about 1.5 degrees. I double checked all the motor mounts and isolated the cold pipe that was hitting the oil filter housing. I went for an extended drive and everything feels amazing, the BSD and lightened...

I tightened the knock sensor without removing the intake manifold, but same issue. I am running an open downpipe right now, I know its probably not an issue but starting to grasp at straws. I know my coldpipe is hitting the oil filter hosing, not really a way to fix that though, maybe I'll put...

Thanks, I'll check CAS and pull intake manifold to double check on the knock sensor. Pretty much everything rattles with the BSD and all 3 Damond mounts lol. Short clip of the vibes/noise: I run a damond OCC with VTA to the PCV valve/intake manifold. Crankcase breather goes to the intake...

Also the timing spark advance is off by ~6 degrees compared to commanded...

So I went ahead and checked the spark plugs, they are all at .026" where I left them. They are all white, but logged AFRs are good. Would timing being off cause this?

Got everything buttoned up and started the car and drove it today. Running into extremely persistent part throttle KR. It pretty much pegs the knock sensor at 8 under any load or rpm. I looked over everything for anything which could possibly be making mechanical noise but didn't find...

So close I can taste it... Everything went smoothish. I attempted to bolt in the manifold and turbo as a single assembly but it turned out to be impossible. Ended up removing the wastegate and compressor housing to get it on. Got a pretty short laundry list of items before I'll start it...
